corniche - ehcinroc

Sorry kalo foto nya miring-miring (maklum gak pake kaca mata, jd penyakit silindris nya kambuh).
Not a good shot, but just want to share.

Malam minggu-an di sini berarti malam sabtu, karena weekend nya emang jumat-sabtu. Biasanya orang-orang pada tumpah ruah di sepanjang pesisir corniche (pinggiran pantai), lengkap dengan tikar dan teh hangat, atau kursi-kursi lipat, bahkan ada yang bawa bantal segala.
Keluarga pada ngumpul nikmatin malam yang cukup sejuk di bulan-bulan ini. Beberapa keluarga bahkan naik perahu hanya sekedar keliling-keliling di seputaran corniche. Perahu nya di bikin banyak lampu, dan full music dengan soundsystem yang super kenceng, meski udah pake ipod, lagu-lagu pop lebanon itu masih kedengeran membahana setiap kali ada kapal lewat.
Meski udah lewat jam-9 malam, tetep aja ada yang jogging-jogging atau seliweran pake rollerblade. Ini bukan pantai Miami, jadi jangan ngebayangin scene yang perlu di sensor macam di CSI-Miami. Kebalikannya, muda-mudi lengkap dengan distasha dan abaya nya..hehe..anak-anak bahkan balita pun ikut ramai di sepanjang pantai ini ..sebagian main sepeda beroda-4. Sebenarnya ada rambu-rambu dilarang bersepeda, tapi mungkin maksudnya sepeda dewasa, jadi sepeda anak-anak boleh aja.
Sayang agak-agak takut mo moto keramaian ..karena rumornya mereka gak suka di foto. Salah-salah..ntar masuk bui. Hehe..Yah, begitulah suasana malam-sabtu-an di Doha. Janggal emang nyebut-nya.

Buat yang disisi lain pantai..langit kita sama..hehe..thanks for your company..

Sing Your Melody

Akhirnya gw ngalamin juga ngelihat matahari terbit dari jendela kantor baru gw (di jakarta ya jangan tanya hehe). Yup..gw udah mulai settled in, dan rutinitas nge-monitor real time dimulai. Real time monitoring, nggak jelas tidur beberapa hari, di tantangin client, tanggung jawab ini itu..bla..bla..bla...sounds terrible, but suck it up! This is my job, my role, my responsibility, that's life...and let's left those boring part of my life for awhile. Hehe..

I won a photo contest. Isn't that great? I ain't a photographer, had no experience shooting, suddenly won a photo contest. Probably the mother luck is in my side this time.



I know, it may be not a prestigious competition one, but at least there are people out there who may see something from the picture. It's indeed a simple picture, with zero difficulty, but it's show a real life, a real picture that may not be seen by everyone. It has some kind of spirit, to grow, to dream, to reach future. As someone said.."impossible is nothing, and nothing is impossible"...that's what we taught to those kids, to keep up high their dreams, look it up in the nightsky .."coz future is only for those who believe on the beauty of their dream"...Terima kasih anak-anak..gw selalu belajar dari kalian, kalian lah inspirasi gw, buat kalian jerih payah ini bakal kembali...At least, itu yg gw rasain pas gw ambil tuh foto (yg sbenarnya buat dokumentasi baksos).

Life is beautiful, isn't it?
I am reading this book. Sonata for Miriam. I bet many people have read Linda Olsson's book. It's simply just a beautiful novel. I can't say no more.
